19, photographer and filmmaker. Based out of Richmond VA. All of these photographs are my creations unless otherwise noted.Tumblr (3.0; @nicholasmax)http://nicholasmax.tumblr.com/<p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>No, but I do have some self doubt about my work. I don’t like to admit this, but as an artist I use to try and top my self with each work I made. This can be very daunting and destructive. An artist should never put that much pressure on ones self because productivity slows. I have been there and now make work that I want to make. It’s not meant for anyone else. Now I use it to channel how I am feeling. </span></p></p>http://nicholasmax.tumblr.com/post/51195592920http://nicholasmax.tumblr.com/post/51195592920Thu, 23 May 2013 22:20:07 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/05f1d6a89f78872d726d36a733801577/tumblr_mna2fql40t1qcusjvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>“Drowning” </strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NicholasScarpinatoPhotography" target="_blank">Facebook </a></p>http://nicholasmax.tumblr.com/post/51188921794http://nicholasmax.tumblr.com/post/51188921794Thu, 23 May 2013 20:52:00 -0400Maxwell Runkoupsetdrownigdont understandblackwaterunknownfeelingsconfusednicholas scarpinatogoldgreenlonging<a href="http://society6.com/NicholasScarpinato">Print Shop. </a>: <p>Free shipping through sunday!

It gives your images the same hazy/dreamy quality that a soft filter would do. </p>http://nicholasmax.tumblr.com/post/48357392351http://nicholasmax.tumblr.com/post/48357392351Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:38:12 -0400<p>I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II with a 50mm 1.8 lens.
